As a disabled driver let me say this: If public transit really was accessible then I would have no problems with taking public transit to work and for the majority of my getting around, only using the car for things like grocery shopping or other times when I need to be able to move more than I can safely carry.
The reality is that public transit is about as far from accessible as it can get, despite the boasting to the contrary. Don't believe me?
Try this simple test: Try figure out how to get around any major city's transit system without using stairs or running into any other type of barrier, even the TTC in Toronto which pats itself so hard on the back for being accessible is rife with stations and buses where accessible is nothing more than a joke <_<
And disabled transit services? Beeen there, done that, why do you think I have a car <_<
